So i know I said I upload two times a day but i got stuck on this chapter and decided not to rush it. It still feels kinda rushed but oh whale nothing i can do now, but I hope this long chapter will kinda help some :)

Anyways Enjoy chapter 3

Another hour had gone by when Winry and Pinako walked into the room everyone was sitting in.

"how's is Isabelle doing!?" Elise asked and stood up quickly worry written on her face like a book.

"She is sleeping now, Her wound is closed for the most part but i want to give you the option of automail."

"I.. I can't afford that, but thanks anyways." The girl whispered, her eyes locked on the floor.

"After what I seen tonight, I won't charge you." Pinako spoke with a puff of her pipe. The girl looked at Granny Pinako shocked. As much as the girl wanted to protest with the old lady,she knew it was a lost cause with Pinako. "Besides, you and Izzy are practically Family after all." The old lady smiled sadly at the girl. A sob had escaped Elise, her hair now covering her face.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

"Come on, you can sleep in Winry's room tonight, You need to rest." Pinako said cutting through the silence that had taken over the room.

"But where is winry going to sleep?" Elise asked, looking up at her childhood best friend then over to granny waiting for an answer from the older or younger Rockbell.

"I'm going to be working on your sisters automail all night tonight, So i don't need a bed." winry stated, giving the girl a reassuring smile.

"I don't want to take your bed, I'm more than comfortable sleeping on the couch tonight." Elise protested with a sigh.

"If you want to sleep on the couch tonight that's fine, But just so you know you're more than welcome to go up to Winry's room and sleep."

"Thank you so much granny. You two Winry." Elise sang out and looks down the hallway to the room her sister was sound asleep in.

She immediately felt the guilt began to eat at her, her eyes still locked on her younger sisters room. It's all her fault her sister lost her arm in the first place. She was supposed to protect her sister -A promise she made to both of their parents- this,was one memory she could remember making to her mother before she had died.

"Let's get you out of those bloody clothes Ellie." Winry smiled and leads the girl upstairs and into her room to change.

As winry looked around her closet for clothes for Elise to sleep in, meanwhile Elise was lost in her thoughts.

I let mom and Isabelle down.

"Here you go Elise, i hope these are all right?" Winry said holding up a light purple flannel and matching pants that went with them.

"Thank you for everything Winry. Honestly."

Three days later.

After three all nighters Isabelle's automail arm was finally done and ready to attach . Pinako, Winry, Isabelle, Elise, Ed and Al were all in the room preparing Isabelle for the operation. Both Elise and Isabelle Ketchum had trusted the Rockbell duo, don't get them wrong; it was just that, Isabelle is the only family Elise has left and she can't... no.. won't lose her little sister, not after everything they been through.

"Everything is ready." Winry had said, turning back to the sisters a sad look on the blondes face."I'm sorry Elise, but i'm going to have to ask you to wait outside."

"What- No! I have to be with Izzy, She needs me!" Elise yelled causing Winry and granny to move back ever so slightly.

"If its any consolation Elise, I wasn't allowed in the room either when brother had his surgery done." Al said and looks over to Ed, who just nodded his head.

"But it's my fault Izzy is here in the first place, I- was supposed to keep her safe and I failed." The girl sobbed and looks at her sister.

"Sister." Isabelle called out." I'll be alright, Remember, Keep moving forward, even when you fall on your face." Isabelle quoted causing her sister to smile slightly.

"Keep moving forward because what's done is done." She finished and pulls her sister into a hug.

" alright.. i'll see you soon Izzy." Elise said and left the room Alphonse following close behind along with Ed.

Isabelle's cries soon filled the house, making Elise's heartache.

She had to leave. She couldn't take another second of her sisters cries of pain, Knowing that she was in fact, the reason for her younger sisters pain.

She quickly runs out of the house ignoring Ed and al's cries for her to come back. She couldn't go back to the house.. Not now.. Not when her sister is going through the pain she was, all because she wanted to bring their mother back from the dead.

She kept running until her twelve year old legs couldn't hold her any longer.

When she had finally stopped running she realized that she was in front of her old house. Blurry memories of her mother, sister and her father popping into her mind.

"Oh mom, I'm so sorry."
